Since I'm getting more and more bored with my daytime job, I ended up doing something:

Comments are welcome, flames > /dev/null.
This looks like an interesting "revolution" in Cocoon land :-)
If you want to do it, and it will be really interesting if you do, here are some tips:
http://incubator.apache.org/learn/rules-for-revolutionaries.html
In particular, here are the relevant parts:
" To allow this to happen, to allow revolutionaries to co-exist with evolutionaries, I'm proposing the following as official Jakarta policy:
1) Any committer has the right to go start a
revolution. They can establish a branch or seperate
whiteboard directory in which to go experiment with new
code seperate from the main trunk. The only
responsibility a committer has when they do this is to
inform the developer group what their intent is, to keep
the group updated on their progress, and allowing others
who want to help out to do so. The committer, and the
group of people who he/she has a attracted are free to
take any approaches they want to free of interference. 2) When a revolution is ready for prime time, the
committer proposes a merge to the -dev list. At that
time, the overall community evaluates whether or not the
code is ready to become part of, or to potentially
replace the, trunk. Suggestions may be made, changes may
be required. Once all issues have been taken care of and
the merge is approved, the new code becomes the trunk. 3) A revolution branch is unversioned. It doesn't have
any official version standing. This allows several
parallel tracks of development to occur with the final
authority of what eventually ends up on the trunk laying
with the entire community of committers. 4) The trunk is the official versioned line of the
project. All evolutionary minded people are welcome to
work on it to improve it. Evolutionary work is important
and should not stop as it is always unclear when any
particular revolution will be ready for prime time or
whether it will be officially accepted.
